Sloboda govora

The novel opens in the world of newspaper work and its entanglement with political interests reaching the highest levels of power. The journalist Čomski vanishes mysteriously, and the story of his friendship with his colleague Vladimir F., which goes back to their student days, reads like a thriller. Behind the plot lies a bitter picture of the erosion of all values, of betrayal, of ruinous divisions and of the fate of journalists and of Serbian society over three decades. In a chapter called Friends, the history of that decline is told at an almost cinematic pace, while the relationship between the two men, one a failure and one upright, keeps developing.
